Abstract

Organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment (OCBTE) represents an influential tool for environmental policy implementation in local governments. The present study examines this behavior among the immediate managers of local governments as they are considered essential conduits for transmitting environmental values to employees and citizens living in the administered municipal areas. The study's primary purpose is to explore the relationships of instrumental support for the environment (ISE) of mayors and immediate managers’ OCBTE in municipal governments through mediation-moderation analyses and bring original insights to local government governance. A cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 420 managers. The hypotheses were verified through structural equation modelling using SmartPLS 3.3 software. Findings indicate a direct relationship between the mayors’ ISE and the immediate management employees’ OCBTE in the municipalities. The mediating effects of the stakeholder demand (SD) and person-organization fit (POF) hypotheses were confirmed. A significant positive moderating effect of trust in the mayor was also approved. There was no moderating effect confirmed for commitment towards the mayor. These results extend our understanding of the mechanisms behind the pro-environmental micro-level additional role of employee behavior in local government settings and provide new insights into the factors that positively correlate with these behaviors.

加强环境方面的组织公民行为

环境组织公民行为（OCBTE）是地方政府实施环境政策的一个有影响力的工具。本研究对地方政府直接管理者的这一行为进行了研究，因为他们被认为是向员工和生活在所管理市政区域内的市民传递环境价值观的重要渠道。本研究的主要目的是通过中介-调节分析，探讨市长对环境的工具性支持（ISE）与市政府直接管理者的 OCBTE 之间的关系，并为地方政府治理带来新的见解。研究以 420 名管理人员为样本进行了横截面研究。使用 SmartPLS 3.3 软件通过结构方程模型对假设进行了验证。研究结果表明，市长的 ISE 与市政当局直属管理人员的 OCBTE 之间存在直接关系。利益相关者需求（SD）和人-组织契合（POF）假设的中介效应得到了证实。对市长的信任也具有明显的正向调节作用。而对市长的承诺则不存在调节效应。这些结果拓展了我们对地方政府中员工行为在微观层面上对环境产生额外作用的机制的理解，并为我们提供了关于与这些行为正相关的因素的新见解。
